In business and in life - there's nothing called maintenance. You are either growing or you are dying.

Let that sink in.

[Sonia Dawar @casoniadawar]

Everyone thinks AIS has all your income.
It doesn’t.
If you file your ITR using only AIS, you could still receive a tax notice.
Always reconcile-
• Bank interest
• Rental income
• Capital gains
• Foreign income
• Other investments
AIS is a starting point—not your tax return

When @IncomeTaxIndia gives an attitude while extending the due date for Tax Audit Report to 31st October 2025 but exclude the mention the fact that about 30 lakhs reports are pending to be filed with 4 days remaining in the original due date of 30.09.25.

Everyday my kid with 100s other have to pass by this dangerous passage on the way to school. It’s dangerous and pointed and it’s bending every passing day. Not sure when the authorities will take action about this… are we waiting for an accident to take action? @mybmcedu @mybmc

[Peter Murphy @murphypmj]

Shameful negligence on Mohan Gokhale Road - despite multiple request to remove this hazard to pedestrians no action taken. @bmcmumbai @mybmcedu Does a child coming to school have to be injured before someone takes responsibility? @oismumbai

[Sonia Dawar @casoniadawar]

The real extension. Finally we can go home now...

[Income Tax India @IncomeTaxIndia]

Waiting for tech to work is not a part of our mandate as CA. Why should we suffer?

@nsitharaman please fix it mam!

[CA Chirag Chauhan @CAChirag]

Auditors do have right to upload tax audit reports and other documents till 30 Sep 2022 midnight 11.59.59

Many are facing DSC errors & not able to attach files

Request to provide some relief by granting additional time to upload till next 2/3 days @IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharaman

[Sonia Dawar @casoniadawar]

Life of a CA trying to upload Tax Audit Report...

IYKYK

Release the attachment @IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharamanoffc #taxaudit #CharteredAccountant @theicai @FinMinIndia

[Sonia Dawar @casoniadawar]

@nsitharamanoffc @FinMinIndia need your attention…

How much more for the portal to run properly so we upload the forms and go home…

[Sonia Dawar @casoniadawar]

Getting this error from past 4 errors… How to resolve this?
Why does @IncomeTaxIndia believe it is completely fine if CAs are working late night but not okay to keep the site running during business hours? #taxaudit #TaxAuditReport Should order a tech audit of the portal…
